If SU wins 1 or two more NCs and a conf. champ. or two within the next few years and they don't I suppose.
I was really hoping that SU would win the Big East Tourney and NC last year because if that happened then you really could make the argument that during the lifespan of the original Big East both programs were more or less equal to one another.
Again though - I'm in the camp that believes that UConn is in a really tough spot right now and for them to continue their success is going be near impossible in their current situation. Don't kill me for saying this but I think they'd be a perfect fit for a final spot in the ACC if Notre Dame ever decides to come all in and the conference needs a 16th member.
I'd actually like to see that happen. They are a great team to hate and I already miss hating them.
Basically we are on the same page. I mean if ND ever did decide to join and PSU or Texas didn't want to be #16 I would want to see UConn get the nod, especially now since their fans HATE that idea, or so they say.
Also wanted to see us win both the regular season title and BET title last year, though I still maintain that all three teams - us, G'Town, and UConn can still lay claim to best of the BE era, though our case without those two things happening last year is more based on consistency over the entire BE history.
I also believe that, assuming they don't get a 4th title before we get a 2nd, that 2nd title automatically moves us ahead of them in terms of program history. Just as I believe UL was the better program over UConn prior to them winning their 3rd last year. All UL's title last year did was put them closer to the 6 acknowledged elite programs and separation between UConn and us.
Cheers,
Neil
